Romanian Gypsy singing in Yiddish

[Gifford, Paul <pgifford...>]

Gregor Serban in Holland has a webpage that includes pictures and
information about his father, Gregor Serban, a violinist of
Romanian Gypsy origin who lived in Holland.  His grandfather, like
other Romanian Gypsy musicians, went to Russia before
1917 where they lived for many years, then moved to Western Europe in
the 1920s.

Anyway, there is an .mp3 recording of Gregor's brother Colea, a
pianist, playing a Jewish medley which includes a refrain
in Yiddish (home recorded in the ?1960s).  Is this a well known song?

It is at http://home.wandoo.nl/gserban/ .  Click on "MP3" and then
"Colea Serban singt op Jiddisch." There are
also some nice recordings of Gregor's orchestra.
